Alec Bohm, born August 3, 1996 in Omaha, Nebraska, is the son of Dan and Lisa Bohm. Since his father also had very good hair, Alec inherited his father’s good facial hair and fine hair. Bohm played baseball for the Roncalli Catholic Baseball Club in Omaha during his high school days.
Additionally, being a handsome kid in school, he also had a .533 and .526 batting average, respectively, in his final two seasons, and the Omaha World-Herald named him an All-Nebraska player for each of these seasons.
Bohm won the Connie Mack World Series Home Run Derby and finished fourth in the Triple-A Home Run Derby at Werner Park in 2015, the summer after her senior year of high school.
No Major League Baseball (MLB) team picked Bohm in the 2015 MLB Draft, even though baseball scouting agency Perfect Game ranked him Nebraska’s best player. Bohm’s senior year of high school saw him go through a growth spurt, which put him “at that awkward stage” when baseball scouts arrived to watch him, in the words of his high school coach Jake Hoover. .
Bohm wanted to go to the University of Nebraska, but the Nebraska Cornhuskers refused to recruit him. Instead, he chose to accept a scholarship offer from the Wichita State Shockers to play college baseball.
